The Cornwall Canal remained in use for over 100 years, consisting of a series of locks that carried boats 18.5 kilometers around the rapids. It was upgraded in 1881 with a new entrance and later a drydock facility. Power drawn from the canal attracted textile and paper mills, and it remained an important shipping centre until the completion of The Seaway in 1959.
